By this time tdr. Warren reaClied his own doord and, with 110030 Keret misgivings, turned the koyil and invited Isis friend into his small but comfortably! furnished house.

"Sit dawn," slid he, ustoring lt)rton Into Ma best parlor. "Taka the rocking-chair, Charley; you have not. furtutten your old tricks, of alway* claiming the rockinrelair, have you?

His first visit was to the kitchen, to ascertain which way the wind blew there. If Betty, the old family sernnt and maid-cf-all-work, was in good humor, he hadJiule to fear. No one could better meet an exigency, ry,ben she bad a mind to the work. He opened the door gently. 'Well, Betty," said he, in a conciliatory tone, "what have you got nice for us to•dayT' 811. seemed to understand, as If by instinct, her importance, and was just cress enough to make a bid use of It, "Got! why . the veal-stakes, to be sure, you sent howw; I don't see what else we could have."

We-are to have a gen tleman to dine with us, and the dinner is rather small." Betty looked like a thunder cloud, "You'll hi've to want a good while, I guess, then; the fire is all out."

Had he spoken out his honest feelings, he would have said: What a Misfortune it is for a young man to have an ailing wife! My servants rule, my children are neglected, my house is in disorder, ‘ my wife dues not like it be-cruse I du not make a fuss over her all the tin: a, an 1, so nething is the matter continually; if it, is not ma, thin, it is another— anj I am weary of it:" He found his friend still in the aria chair, busily reading a scrap-book which was on the table. Fun -danced in his eyes and trigeheir at Me - ebriiiirs .f hi. mouth; and as sii,on as he caught sight of Warren+ he burst into a merry peal of laughter. Warren could not resist it, and he laughed full live minutes before he knew what the j Ike was: It was only romething in the scrap-book which brought to re membrance an old old scrape they .had together— tit:l:the laugh worked like a charm with him. His family troubles seemed to vanish before it, Eke mists in the morring,. A mere manly c]orage was aroused in him; be was a better and a sirouvr man.

"Which of them looks like the mother, Harry'?" "The boy nearest you, I think," was the abort re ply; then, as if obliged to edd, by way orapology, "I am very sorry that Mrs. Warren' cannot coins to day, but she has one of her bad headaches."

An animated convemstion ensued, and it was some time behire Mr. Warren remembered that they LW nut yet dinned. Warren's sunshine MA fist vanishing, though his dinner, it is but juetice to Betty we should say, was well-cooked; )et his table needed the lady.— No clean napkins were there; no nice salters and shiniog spoons graced it; . no order and elegance of serving slide it attractive. Betty had no eye 1 - ,4 the fancy-work, But the foul was good, an I there was an abundance of it; and the gentlemen wculd Lave enj.iyed it,if the children had nut beezli ao truu• toleeonrii. Wheu dinner was about Inlf over, Mrs. Warren made her appeiranea. Wo:king in languidly, .be took her seat at Ihe head of the tab!e. She still wore her loose gown, over which she had thrown a shawl. Her hair was still uncombed. Her eyes were dull and heavy in their expression, and her . eyebrows were elevated. She looked as if she felt miserable. " Ah, Juliette," said Mr. Warren, slightly, coloring,,"l did not know that you would feel able to come down. Let me iutroduce you to al old friend, Mr. Morton." Mrs. Warren bowed. "You have been suffering with a headache to-day, my friend tells me," said Mr. Marton. "Yes, I suffer nearly all the time," was the ro• ply; "if it is not one thing, it is another. lam al most discouraged." "0, no, Juliette, it is some time since pa have had a bad tura," said her husband. "Only last week," was her short reply. "Your memory is not very good on this point. I believe you think I can help being sick." Mr. Warren triel to laugh off ttois thrust ; but there was no heart in IL 'All sociality vanished with Mrs. Warren's presence, and all peace, too ; for the children acted worse than ever. Mr. Mor ton suffered for his friend, and was muoh relieved when they were again by themselves in the parlor. He could have forgiven the want of glossy ringlets and laughing eyes, bat he could not forgive the want of good humor, in Harry Warren's wife. He felt as if his friend hid keen taken in ; he pitied him ; an. Armor than ever was his determination to run no such hazards himself.

The air of the sick-room, perfumed as it was wilh cimphor sad timmoois,oppressed the weary men.— He avid ho would go and send the children to bed. This was more easily said than done; the ch;ldren were tired and cross, and full of wants, and Betty would not help him in the least. PAtience and per- severance, howei;er, got th• last little urchin into his nest. " Now go'to steep, bop," said he; "your mother is sick to-night, and I must not hear a word from you."

Once, Mrs. Warren wool.' hove been much grieved, anl would have sought earnestly to heal the wound which she made ; but being sick so much was fast making her selssh. It was uniy of self she thouglit. " wi;11 yon woutlnot complain of me,", said she, isawbarswo CrIVW withoui - being found fault with." "I %%az not 6nling fault with you, .ToTi:tto ; but a man can't do more th3o he can do." Joliette continued to sob; her husband was silent. When, at length, they slept, it was with chilled af fections and heavy hearts, and their shinab!rs were neither sweet nor refreshing. • Several sears passed, and Airs. Warren's hetilth did not iint , rove. She seemed to have made up her mind that, she must suffer, and that people ought to pity hig, syd not expect her to di anything. The sonshine that had once been atJut her vanished; she spoke at all times io a distressed tone IA voice; a doleful expression became habitual with her. She made 130 - exertion wh:ch she could avoid, she shirk-, esl every care which could be avoided. Mr. War yen and Betty must, see to things. Now, Betty was no housekeeper ; she could do bard work, bat not heed work. She did not understand economy. She • used up What he had, Without thinking; of to-nicr• row. It was not her besiness to be bothering as to how the two ends should meet. Such management at home, together with the ir.creasing wants of a family, required a gned income. Mr. ‘Varren'.4 business gave him a comfortable living, but_ it. was not quite equal to ailing' up flour-barrels which had a hole in the bottom. He began to run hs,,hind, and to become discouraged. lie got into debt, and then, going on from had to worse, he became completely disheartened. His family was a drag on him. He could not tell his wife of his troubles—if ha did, she only cried, and said, "else was sure she could not help it ; she did all she could, when' her health was so poor. She thought he might have more feeling for her than to complain." He, therefore, formed his own plans in silence. One October morning, Airs. Warren awoke with one of her sick headaches. Finding this to be the case, she went to sleep again, and it was very late before she awoke the second lime. Dressing her self at her leisure, she went to the dining-room.— ' Some cold breakfast stood waiting for her, which she partook of alone—neither husband nor children were there. At dinner she met her children, but not her husband; he had not returned. This pin coked her a tittle. "He stays," thought she, "just on purpose, because I are ill. I'll keep out of his way, I guess, for one while." With this generous resolve, she took to ber darkened chamber, her cam phor and ammonia (which she knew to be particu larly unpleasant to him,) and her bandages and ice -water. The time came, but not Mr. Warren. The children had their supper, and west to bed. Eight, nine, ten o'clock struck. Mrs. Warren sprang from her bed and called Betty. "Betty, where can Mr. •Warren bet, Here it is ten o'clock, and he has not come yet." "I declare, Miss Warren, I don't know what can have become of him. There, now, Ido remember.

A correspondent of the Home Journal oaks tho editor to state the cause of the rupture between Lord - arid Lady Byron, and says to do so is no easy tisk . since Byron himself repeatedly heelers., iv his hit :tire, that the cause was unknown to him. The Journal says: • On the second of January, 1815, Lord Byron, then in his twenty.seventh year—was united in marriage with Miss Millbanke. On the" tenth of December, dam same year, Augusta Ads, their child waltioru. About six weeks: after, Lady Byron left London on a visit to her father, in Leicestershire, with the understanding that her husband would shortly join her. They parted in kindness, nay in tender affec tion. On the journey Lady Byron wrote tam an af fectionate and playful letter. Immediately on ibe arrival at the paternal mansion, her father wrote to Lord Byron, to inform him' that his daughter would return to him no more; and the husband and wife never met again. At the time of the marriage, Lord Byron was a man of fashion, and addicted to the vices of a man of fashion. lklarrioge was continually recommended to Byron, as an "antidote" to dissipation. At length be took the pre f seription—and a bitter dose it proved. - He proposed to Miss Millbanke, and was refused. They continued, however, to be on very friendly terms, and to correspond. He proposed a second time, and was accepted. His friends protested against Us choice for two reasons: first, because she was too "strait-laced," i. e. too good for him; and secondly, becaush her fortune consisted chiefly in expecta- tions. Bat, sitting one day with a friend; whets refusal from an other lady arrived, Byron said:— "You see that after all, Miss Millbanke is to be the person—l will write to her." He wrote on the in stant, end showed the letter to his friend, who, still remonstrated against his choice, read the letter over and remarked; "Well, really, this is a very pretty letter; it is a pity it should not go; I never read • prettier one." "Then it shall go," said Lord Byron. did go, and it sealed his fate. Miss Millbanke was the pattern daughterof a pat pattern country gentleman. An English country house, of the pattren acrt, is a place where peace and plenty, order and - regularity, have taken up their abode. Life in it goei on in an unvarying room of duties and delights. From the muter to the nu]; lion, each inhabitant he=, knows, and keeps his piece; yielding obedience to those above him, requiring respect and submissionikom those below him. Bat the yoke is easy and the burthen is light, because respect is mingled with affection,. and obedience is rendered with loyalty. Miss Millbanke, as welfare just observed, was a pattern lady of her class-41r tnous, discreet, prudent, orderly kind—formed to be 4 wise mother of English children, an admirable mother of an English home. She was not a wo man who would see any thing romantic in a liaison, or any thing interesting in a seizure of furniture by the sheriff; nor was she a woman who could regard the glory of the poet as a set off against the tanks tha man; on the contrary she would consider—. and rightly consider—that the itossesslon of such extraordinary talents heightens the turpitude of me rit delinquency. Nine times during 'the year that Lord and Lady Byronlived together, the sheriff's o fficers seized the furniture for debt. It was reported about town that his extravagant lordship had married an heiress,and his marriage was a signal for creditors to email up on him in a swarm iritating hint, dismaying her. Byron was a troublesome man to live slab. Hi. mood was more changeable than the weather—mel ancholy, hilarious, peevish, savage, all in a day and all without apparent cause—and there was= know ing hew to take him. All this, and primp. mem Lady Byron had to endure—she who had been all her life accustomed to a state of things as different as can be conceived. She bore it, however, alt.& r as we know, without repining; until transferred to her own sphere again she remarked the contrast...—. An affectionate and officious "mamma," horrified by the tale her daughter brought of "executions," probably persuaded her not to return. Byron was astounded at the newt. His peiuniary difficulties had reached their utmost, and to use his ow* ho. gunge, the blow came when he was standing on his hearth with his houeehold gods shiverround him," With a noble candor, be Wrote a few a ye after, te , Tom Moore,-"There Dever Was a tier, or *Tell a brighter, a kinder, a more amiable, or agreeable being than Lady Byron.
